He discusses how Kapuściński’s identity was deliberately defamed in Artur Domosławski’s “Kapuściński non-fiction”. A work that attempts to rob Kapuściński of his dignity as a reporter by decontextualizing his presence within the realms of Polish and world literary reportage. The author of this article cites an extensive list of the omitted details and names with whom Kapuściński cooperated, corresponded and befriended, without whose inclusion such a biography devolves into popular journalism catering to the unsophisticated reader.
